GCV Green Network
Connecting Our Quality Spaces

The Seven Lochs Wetland Park is an exciting new Green Network project spanning the Glasgow and North Lanarkshire boundary. It aims to create a new wetland park of national significance, linked to a wider network of greenspaces.

New web pages to support consultation on the draft Seven Lochs Wetland Park vision and masterplan have now been launched. The webpages make the masterplan available for download, and include consultation questions and feedback forms which can be submitted on-line. To visit the new website click here.

We are also running a number of consultation workshops/discussions:

23^rd November, 7 - 9pm at Gartcosh Community Centre, G69 2AB

1^st December, Coatbridge Community Forum, 7pm at Coatbridge High School, ML5 3NP

8^th December, 12 - 2pm, 229 George St, G1 1RX

10^th December, 11am - 3pm at Glenboig Community Centre, ML5 2QT

Communities wanting to improve their local environment in the Glasgow Metropolitan area have the opportunity to benefit from new grant funding

Last year exemplary Design Studies for four major regeneration sites and community growth areas were completed for the GCV Green Network Partnership. The Design Studies have been very well received by our partner local authorities who plan to use them when masterplanning the developments, and by Scottish Government. One of our Design Studies has led to selection of the study site for the SSCI Charrette Mainstreaming Programme 2011. The Design Studies can be downloaded here.

We are launching a brand new 4-Year GCV Green Network Partnership Review this month!
